Hegemony in Discourse: How Armenia’s Security Dependence on Russia is Constructed and Reinforced

This thesis investigates how Armenia’s security dependence on Russia is discursively constructed and maintained through political texts. Analyzing the 1994 and 2020 ceasefire agreements ending the first and second Karabakh war, alongside 18 official statements from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2020–2025), the study argues that these texts function not only as records of geopolitical ev

Towards circularity in brick masonry: knowledge gaps and future needs

Enligt FN:s miljöprogram står byggsektorn för 37 % av den globala energianvändningen och de processrelaterade koldioxidutsläppen. I Sverige visar den senaste statistiken från Boverket att denna sektor står för 22,1 % av landets totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Som en del av Sveriges klimatmål har Fossilfritt Sverige satt upp mål att minska utsläppen med 50 % till 2030 och 75 % till 2040, med starktAccording to the UN Environment Programme, the construction sector is responsible for 37% of global energy and process-related CO₂ emissions. In Sweden, the latest data from Boverket – the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning – indicates that this sector accounts for 22.1% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions.

Att använda kroppen, sinnet och själen. En studie om socionomers perspektiv på holistiska metoder för ett hållbart socialt arbete

The aim of this study is to explore social workers' experiences with work-related stress and coping, along with their attitudes towards holistic methods as tools for stress management. Since social workers are at high risk for burnout and work-related stress, it is of interest to explore whether a holistic approach can contribute to increasing sustainability among social workers. Through quali

Risk Premium around Macroeconomic Announcements: Evidence from Delta-Neutral Straddles

This paper analysed the returns on delta-neutral straddles around macroeconomic announcements. The results for straddles on all macroeconomic events were negative returns across all weighting methods and across the majority of holding periods. Furthermore, the returns for individual macroeconomic data announcements were negative, except for money supply and employment data which showed inconclusiv

En partiell hjärnskål från Åsens krita och dess koppling till den svenska svanödlefaunan

Svanödlor (plesiosaurier) är akvatiska reptiler från mesozoikum, runt 251.9 till 66 miljoner år sedan. Fossil från gruppen har beskrivits globalt sedan tidigt 1800-tal, och inkluderar fynd från marina kretaceiska avlagringar i sydligaste Sverige. Här är det fossila arkivet fragmentariskt, och utgörs huvudsakligen av isolerade tänder och kotkroppar. Endast två fragment från kraniet på en svanödla hPlesiosaurs are aquatic reptiles that roamed the world’s oceans during the Mesozoic, some 251.9 to 66 million years ago. Fossils of this group have been recorded globally since the early 19th century, and include finds in the marine Cretaceous of southernmost Sweden. Here, the record of plesiosaurs is fragmentary (a so called ‘scrap fauna’), and mainly made up of isolated teeth and vertebral centr

Living together.

This thesis investigates multigenerational living as an architectural response to contemporary social fragmentation and urban isolation, offering an alternative model of dwelling grounded in collective domestic life. Drawing from personal experiences of growing up partly within an extended family, the work is motivated by these factors: intergenerational bonds, the timeless human tendency t

The future of contract formation where innovation meets agreement - Automated contracting in the light of international soft law and Swedish contract law

The rapid evolution of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has fundamentally altered how agreements are formed and executed. Automated contract formations occur when contracts are initiated, negotiated or concluded by software agents or systems with minimal or no human intervention. This presents challenges to traditional legal concepts such a

Simulating evacuation of slums

By 2050, 70% of the global population is projected to live in urban areas, with much of this growth occurring in developing countries where the demand for affordable and accessible housing is not met, resulting in a growing population residing in slums or areas of slum-like conditions. One of the many risks associated with living in slums or areas of slum-like conditions is fires, which are freque

Automated Design of Analog Amplifiers

In this thesis, algorithms have been developed for automated design of fully differential amplifiers. Given the amplifier specifications, the automated design flow generates netlists for the amplifier core as well as bias circuitry. The algorithms are independent of Process Design Kit (PDK) and can target all the currently available open-source PDKs. Using the automated flow, 280 amplifier netlist
